   We were really wanting to like this place as we are seafood lovers and this restaurant is located close to our residence. Upon entering the facility we noticed that the glass entrance door had hand marks all over it as well as other prints. This told us that no one is steadily cleaning the glass doors nor the mirrors in the bathroom either. We sat at a booth and whilst sitting there we noticed dry sauce on our table which I cleaned off with water and napkin. The server was quick to come over and receive our order so that was good. My husband and I both order the grouper with some kind of delicious sauce on top and surrounded by plantains and beans. The only food that was hot on the plate was the grouper (hubby's plate too). We figure the chef already had the plantains and beans sitting there prior to cooking the grouper (which was excellent by the way) therefore we only were able to enjoy the grouper. At the end of the meal I used the women restroom and I must say it was horrible. In the bigger bathroom the side of the toilet had excrements dried on the side of it. The other stall had toilet all over the floor and it too was disgusting. Not taking care of the bathrooms or the mirrors/doors leads me to believe that the lack of concern with this is the same for the food as well. Overall it was not a good experience and the owner needs to have his employees do better and not just stand around and look at their phones which is what we witnessed whilst dining. We won't be back.

   Great casual restaurant. TV's for sports fans. Live music some nights. Very good service and good food. It can be loud.

   We went with friends specifically to hear Jeannie and Larry play. Our server Will was awesome. One of our friends, who is going through chemo and is experiencing terrible mouth sores, said it was the best meal she had in days. Everyone was pleased with their food and Jeannie and Larry were awesome!

   Great experience for 10 of us ranging from 7-82. My 15 year old son thoroughly enjoyed his all you can eat crab legs. Everyone else loved their meals. They offer large portions, great quality & very affordable prices. My sister-in-law is a foodie from the area. This was her first time & she plans to bring her lady’s dinner club there soon.

    This is my third time going for all you can eat crab. I have to tell you it is a fun experience and date night. But we’ve also gone with kids one time. The service is really what makes it stand out.
